Human TBK1, GST Tag Recombinant Protein

Product Specific Information

For maximum recovery please spin prior to use. Unless noted below, aliquots of the 5 µg, 10 µg and 20 µg sizes of kinase are not recommended as materials can be used in original packaging until exhausted. For larger sizes, the number of freeze/thaws may be reduced by preparing aliquots, aliquots below 20 µL are not recommended. Please never store a kinase diluted. If properly stored at -80C, this product is guaranteed for 6 months from date of purchase.

This purified recombinant full-length protein can be used in a number of different applications, but it has been specifically validated for use with both the LanthaScreen™ & Z'-LYTE™ assay technologies to identify novel kinase inhibitors. TBL1 is also available in our SelectScreen™ Kinase Profiling Service.

Target Information

TBK1 serine/threonine kinase is a member of the IKK family and is involved in NF-kappa B activation and IRF3 signaling. TBK1 is a ubiquitous transcription factor and an essential mediator of gene expression during activation of immune and inflammatory responses. NF-KB mediates the expression of a great variety of genes in response to extracellular stimuli. NF-KB is associated with IKB proteins in the cell cytoplasm, which inhibit NF-KB activity. Phosphorylation of I-KB by IKB kinase (IKK) complex leads to degradation of I-KB and activation of NF-KB. The IKK complex contains IKKa, IKK beta, and IKKK. A novel IKK related kinase was recently identified and designated TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1), NAK (NF-KB-activating kinase), and T2K. NAK/TBK1 activates IKK beta through direct phosphorylation. NAK/TBK1 is activated by growth factors and PMA and mediates IKK and NF-kB activation in response to growth factors. NAK/TBK1 functions upstream of NIK and the IKK complex. NAK/TBK1 is also critical in protecting embryonic liver from apoptosis.
